Wood Ford Farm Builds Dairy Bam Famous Ayrshire Herd Has 6-Tear Milk Record Will early adoption raise a child’s “I.Q”? Answer: Definitely, report Drs. Marie Skodak and Harold M. Skeels In the Journal of Genetic Psycholo gy. An exhaustive mental test of 100 adopted children showed that ‘The intellectual level of the chil- en has remained consistently aer than would have been pre- icted from the intellectual, educa- ional or socio-economic level of the true parents,’' and equal or su perior to that of “own children” of the families by which they were adopted. A normally healthy child whom you adopt will be as “bright" as one of your own would be. B. (Can yen worry too much over war news? Answer: Not if you mean trying to find out what you can do to serve your country. But just making your self miserable thinking about world conditions is of no use to you or to anyone else. It is perhaps “natural” to feel as if you were somehow re sponsible for the world crisis and should have to suffer for it, but the feeling is unrealistic and neurotic. In fact, such self-punishment may even be made an unconscious sub stitute for useful action. Once you’ve seep your duty and have done it, the less you can think about the war, the better. One of the finest and most modern dairy barns in the United States, us ing the newest building materials and developments to safeguard against fire, was completed re cently on the Wood Ford Farm at Avon, Conn. Forty feet wide and 267 feet long, the barn houses 100 milking cows. It includes also a large feed room, box stalls, an office, a room for employees, and a well-equipped milk room. Fire destroyed the old dairy bam last summer. None of the farm’s famous ayrshire herd was harmed because it had been put out to night pasture. In making the bam fireproof con crete was used for the floor, cinder Will psychoanalysis rewrite history? Answer: Yes, eventually, main tains Dr. Raymond de Saussure in his contribution to a volume on “Psychoanalysis and the Social Sciences.” While the task is an enormous qfie and methods of in vestigation will need to be greatly improved, psychoanalytic under standing of the motives that spur men to action will throw new light on events whose cause and meaning have otherwise been obscure. To take one recent example, it might well be said that only a psychoana lytic approach can explain why Hit ler appealed to the German people. lONG THE HEBREWS, DANClMG WAS AM EXPRESSION OF RELIGIOUS JOY AND GRATITUDE.

Barton • ' r . S INCE IT IS KNOWN that all liquids—water, milk, tea, cof fee, soft and hard drinks—definitely aintain overweight, because fat tissue holds water, most over weights now take less fluid or liquid daily. In addition, as table salt holds 70 times its own weight of liquids in the tissues, many over weights are cutting down on their table salt in and on foods, or are using salt substitutes Besides overweight, there are diseases in which liquids and salt must be reduced, because much liquid in the tissues ibrings on attacks: such conditions |M epilepsy and Meniere’s disease. In high blood pressure most phy sicians advise reduction of liquids and table salt. Beth liquids and table salt are needed foods; everybody requires a certain amount of them every day. However, because too, much of maintains overweight and the attacks. mentioned ; there are many who do not have these diseases, who are not getting enough liquids and table salt And just as too much causes symptoms, so also does not enough cause symptoms. In The Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Henry A. Schroeder (Washington university), states that lack of table salt makes the kidneys unable to do their work properly. This causes various symptoms—symptoms that are often not recognized as being caused by inadequate functioning of the kidneys. This inability of the kid neys means less volume of urine to remove body wastes, rapid gain in weight, and sometimes an in crease in the heart rate. The symptoms complained of are: 1. drowsiness,weakness and lethar gy (often wrongfully attributed to quieting or pain-killing drugs); 2. loss of appetite, sometintes with thirst; 3. nausea and sometimes vomiting; 4. occasionally abdomin al and muscular cramps, and 5. an increase in oedema (swelling with fluid) where oedema is al ready present. Treatment is more salt and injec tion of salt in veins. • HEALTH NOTES I #ne of the reasons that we should i»at breakfast before going to work ia that food in the stomach stimu lates movement of the stomach walls, which in turn stimulates the ■mull intestine.

New Burley Strains Are Almost Free of Wildfire New strains of hurley tobacco that are almost immune to wildfire, one of the most destructive diseases of the crop, have been created by tm agriculture department plant scien tist. The strains also have a lower nicotine content. This, too, is a major advance, because nicotine in present day hurley—used principal ly in blended cigarettes—is higher than is desired. V A third point about the new plants is that they seem to be a little more vigorous in growth than other lines. But it will be two or three years before growers have these plants, because they must be improved and selected for local conditions before they are released. -. The man who originated the hew strains is Dc. E. E. Clayton. He de veloped the wildfire resistance in the new lines from a wild species. The new line was developed after a systematic study of several hun dred wild species during the last 15 years. Protect Bags To keep empty; feed sacks from being damaged by mice or rats, take a piece of iron pipe slightly longer than the width of the sacks and saspend it from the ceiling with two lengths of wire. Mice and rats are unable to get down the wire to the sacks. The average farmer will save considerable money in a period of a year by following such ? practice. Sweet Potato Crop Nets N. C.

Intemiptions Lesson for March 4, 1951 P EOPLE KEEP making your life shorter every day. For tllne ia the stuff of which life is made, and you never do have a full 24 hours a day. After taking out what has to be spent in sleep, eating and so on, and taking out what has to be spent on your job. whatever it is, there still ought to be a few hours to call your own. But if you are like most people, you live from one in- Dr. Foreman terruption to an other. If it isn’t the telephone It’s the door-bell. The more important you are, the more you are likely to be interrupted. Once there was a teacher who became president of the college where he had taught. In later years he mourned the change. “It seems to me,” he said, “I never get a consecutive hall-hour any more to think about anything. No day is ever what I planned. Life has become one long series of in terruptions.” * V • • SORETONE liniment's Pag Aetion ■mm GIvbs Quick Relief!

Kills a> $ types of common fungi—on < woman art Boos Dotoctlvt*, Criminologists Report v Unscheduled Stops T HE LIFE of the Master himself, to judge from what we read in the Gospels, was a long series of in- . .. x 4 terruptions. The tenth chapter of Mark is a good example. Jesus him self at this time had one great thing in mind: the Cross. He was going up to Jerusalem not to talk to beg gars or to listen to lawyers’ argu ments or to hold interviews with puzzled young people. He was going to die. x 1 - A man on his death-road might be spared Interruptions. He could not be blamed if he said to Interrupters one and all:. “Sorry, I can't be bothered. See my assistants If there Is anything yon want done.” But Jesus did not say anything of the kind. He did not fume over the unscheduled stops on his life’s high way. He took time to clear up mis understandings; he took time for little children when even his best friends thought he ought not to be disturbed; he took time to answer the question of die rich young man; he did not brush off James and John when they came to him with their ill-considered petition; he even took time to take care of a beggar’s need. Ministries by the Wayside I ESUS DID not always take the initiative in every situation, though Indeed hq, controlled eyery situa tion. When the Pharisees asked him about marriage he did not say, “Let’s not talk about mar riage; let me suggest the topic of salvation instead.” When the young man ran up to him, Jesus did not ask: “Did you have an appoint ment for an interview?” Jesus not only did not resent other people’s initiative. He never seems to have resented an interruption in his life. Does this example of Jesus mean that we ought not to plan our days ahead of time, or that we ought never to try to “budg et” our time? Must we never plan any project, but always wait till other people suggest what we are to do? Not at all. The example of Jesus means that if and when interrup tions occur. If we share his spirit we shall not be irritated by them or resent them. For what Jesus did, always, was to make use of the in terruption. Each one was turned in to a “Wayside Ministry.” Indeed, a large part—some would say the larger part—of Jesus’ life was made up of just such by-the-way minis tries. Life’s By-the-Ways ttOW’ MANY of Jesus' teachings AA we would never have had, if no one had interrupted him or asked him questions! How many of his miracles would never have been done if he had refused to perform any but those he planned and sched uled himself! It is what we do “by the way” that makes up life’s serv ice, for the most part. * In Jesus’ story of the Good Sa maritan (no doubt an incident from real fife)' we are not told what were the original errands of the priest, the Levite and the Samari tan. Very likely the first two wero on time for their appointments. But the priest and the Levito missed a wonderful chance, just because the poor beaten traveler was not, so to speak, on their agenda. The Samaritan was delayed, and maybe bothered, by what he did for the man in trouble. But what he was willing to do by the way, something he had not planned for at all, won him the immortality of the Master’s praise.
